It takes Sh2.2m to join richest 1pc of Kenyans

For loans to pay hospital bills? They should have acquired loans way earlier to finance an income generating business that they’d later use to pay hospital bills.

This study is fake to say the least.If you go on the ground ,you will realize that things are totally different. 2.2m is lowerng the bar too low for Kenya’s thriving middle class even after removing the debts. Just look at the construction boom going on currently in Kitengela and other outskirts of Nairobi.You think its one person building all that? wrong…check the diaspora remittances.talk to the Land brokers in these areas and you will get the true picture of Kenya middle class. I’d say a conservative figure of 5M could be closer to the truth.
